If this song doesn't make you all warm and glowy inside...something probably will

This is quite like Christmas though. Cloistered inside your place, eating crap food, drinking too much, watching too much tv and Youtube and your "loved ones" starting to smell like stilton and pork pies.

I consider the season to be on with the first go at rum and eggnog, and while I've seen it in the store already, have not yet pulled the trigger.

This guy apparently is the one who wrote Grandma Got Run Over By a Reindeer with a 2020 twist.

To me, christmas hasn't arrived until I hear Fairytale of New York.
Which version? Now we have the BBC censored version. Although not PC or woke myself the original version is my preference.

Why do you say that you are "not PC or woke"? Do you like to deliberately upset people?

I'm going to bet that you ARE politically correct. I bet you don't actually voice your thoughts unfiltered.

Hadley and le Cajun Grass Band played our old club a couple of times, and he's a real gent.

I know. Seems like nobody thought to start a new thread for this year or will this will become a thread like Post EU and go on for years :lol: Perhaps we should have a committee formed to see if we should have a new Christmas music thread every year like we do with winter or just let the current thread carry on for years to come. Of course just letting it carry on for years would mean the possibility of Boney M being included multiple times.

I fail to see an issue.

The Muppets had really terrible Christmas songs. I think they missed an opportunity.

So what is everybody's top five Christmas songs? The ones that were on the Top of the Pops or the hit parade?

Slade Merry Christmas Everybody
Wombles, Wombling Merry Christmas
Chris Rea, Driving Home for Christmas
Maria Carey, Whatever that one is called
Elton John, Step into Christmas

tbh I haven't put much thought into these choices. :(

Top 5. Hmm...

Well head and shoulders above the rest would be the
  • Pogues - Fairytale of New York.
then in no particular order would be Chris Rea, Slade, John and Yoko and then maybe Chris De Burgh (A spaceman came travelling) or Elton John or maybe in after a few IPA's, I'd get up and belt Last Christmas at a Karoake party..

Others such as Mariah Carey, I saw mommy kissing santa claus etc don't do much for me. Bing and Bowie is quite interesting.

Reminds me of the grandfather who gave a little boy a pocket knife for Christmas and asked him if he knew what was in his new drum.
